True story

A number of years ago I went on a business trip to Chicago. We had meetings all day then piled into someone's rental and headed out to dinner. After dinner we decided to go to some club someone heard about. So we're driving around having a grand time, 5 people in our finest business outfits crammed into a ford escort or something like that and got lost. We're sitting at a light in an "urban" part of town by a fire house. This guy walks out of the house, taps on the window and says "Youz guys aint from around here, are ya?" Nope we laughed. He then told us to make a left, a right at the next light a right after 2 more blocks and don't stop the car again until we get on the highway. We all laughed and said thanks.

Later I found out from a native where we were. Maybe you've heard of the area...Cabrini-Green?
